Our WM FF monthly meeting, held at Sportsman Whse in Coon Rapids was well attended. The meeting presenter covered at the end of the season - fishing gear care. It was very informative and helpful . We read about fishermen keeping their boats and prop blades clean when they leave one lake and launch their boats at another lake.....................same concept with wader boots with felt bottoms..............Care of waders, rod and reel, fishing lines, and fishing boxes were well covered by a lot of Q&A between attendees, presenter, and KB, past president of TCTU. Kevin also commented on a hearing regarding another Ethanol plant being built in SE MN, voting on the clean water act, and also his involvement in starting a chapter of Casting for Recovery. Minutes of meeting will be posted on the women's FF website.
As we are at the end of the season, I will try to post information that will helpful for 2009 fishing season.
This Saturday, a few of us signed up for a Fly Tying Workshop taught by our favorite DNR -TJ.
In the meantime............keep those fishing lines ready!!

Here are pictures of The Kinni................
The trout season ended on September 30th; and it was mandatory that I make it to the Kinni......one more time. The forecast for a cooler morning was not worth the effort to rush to get there early. It was a blue sky day and got there at noon. I saw that a few others got there about the same time. Initially nymphing and then later switching to a dry flies, I missed a couple but saw a lot............again very frustrating to see and 'be in their face' but .................that's all!
Interestingly, during one of my down time while switching to a different fly, I met a guy, a former attendee of 2007 Fly Fishing Workshop headed by Lew B. He admitted he has not been out as much as he wanted to since taking that workshop, so we exchanged/shared some knowledge/ideas we had learned/experienced as novices to the sport. The others also frustrated with luck....tried different methods, and left to try another spot. I also took the time to check out different accesses along the river.
Iowa - trout is open all year round!
Keep those fishing lines wet!!

Tuesday, Sept 16th Mtg - Lebanon Prk
At our monthly WM FF meeting there were about 12 members in attendance. For those that got there early, they were able to practice their casting. Late comers, not mentioning any names, got there in time to listen to discussion, take pictures, and see everyone. It was a perfect place and time for casting. The beach area was clear of sunbathers/swimmers and the wind was rather calm. Included is a slide show of the group/activities.
Next meeting will be on care of fishing gear!
Keep those flylines wet!
